So I am charging on with HC4 and we have got to Odessa:
‘Odessa. Not exactly the big city, but compared to Rose Creek it was a metropolis: more than one street, all lined with businesses, everything you could ask for and then some - tailors, ladies’ fashions, watchmakers, furniture stores, gunsmiths - even a theatre.’
A theatre. A theater? Looking at old photos and playbills, the two forms seem to have been as common as each other at that time, and I will find it really hard to write ‘theater’ because it is Just Wrong.
